Opis

This book provides an essential toolkit for all students wishing to know more about the modelling of financial time series. Econometric techniques are becoming increasingly common in the world of finance and this second edition of an established text covers the following key themes:

• unit roots, cointegration and other developments in the study of time series models
• time varying volatility models of the GARCH type and the stochastic volatility approach
• analysis of stock persistence and impulse responses
• Markov switching
• present value relations and data characteristics.

This updated edition includes new chapters which cover limited dependent variables and panel data. It continues to be an essential guide for all graduate and advanced undergraduate students of econometrics and finance.

Recenzje

"…The author aimed at bringing together, to a single research-oriented volume, various topics concerning the modelling and analysis of financial data, which were previously scattered in different books. …The main difference from the first edition is in the time series modelling, but also this second edition considers discrete choice models, estimation of censored and truncated samples and other topics which developed significantly since the first edition. … The unique feature of the book is that each chapter has a section or two of examples and cases, and a section of empirical literature. This will give a potential reader an opportunity both to understand better the theory and to practice in applying this theory to real models. …"
